FAMOUS gospel and jazz pianist Johan Mthethwa tied the knot with his long-time sweetheart Ayanda Quliso on Saturday.

The wedding took place at Protea South Sports Centre in Soweto.

Some celebrities present were Selaelo Selota, Ntokozo Mbambo, Nqubeko Mbatha and Concorde Nkabinde.

Mthethwa and Quliso, who met in church more than a decade ago, had been dating for two years.

With the most charismatic marriage officer anyone could ask for, the crowd could not complain about the Reverend Kheswa's hilarious but sound approach to proceedings:"Put your watch on Johan so that you know that you are a husband. You won't be coming home at any time at night because you were at a gig.

"Your days of spending hours with the piano are over. Your fingers must do the work on Ayanda now," Kheswa said.

At this, Mthethwa looked at his sweetheart and smiled.

After the two exchanged vows and rings, Kheswa called the DJ to set the mood by playing Mafikizolo's Ndihamba Nawe.

Mthethwa, 33, has worked with great artists such as Judith Sephuma, Gloria Bosman, Mafikizolo, Thandiswa Mazwai, Joyous Celebration, Labella and Selota.
